Listed trading halt re-open

  1. What determines the first trade after a listed stock is halted? If there are GTC limit orders that will be filled due to gapping price, who gets the fill on the other side? The lowest/highest ask/bid?
     
  2. where ever the stock opens. i put in a sell on the NYSE for a stock at 22.50 and the stock opened at 24. i was filled at 24.
     
  3. Thanks for the link, will look into it later.

    But maybe I can rephrase the question: during a listed halt, how can u guarantee first (or near first) execution when the stock re-opens?
